Okay, okay. Calm down I just wanna know what people think about the lifts. Obviously the long lifts are gonna be more expensive, but can someone with experience with the two of them tell me what the differences are. I'm gonna be trail riding, a little street riding, and some yard work. I know you all have experience with different ones and I just wanna know more about them from people who have them before I buy a lift kit and wish I knew what the other was like.

So you're thinking that with enough abuse the OE axle will break?

I really hate to say this and it is only my opinion but...... i'd rather piss on an electric fence than use the rear part of the allsports workhorse lift. They really did some creative engineering to make it a bolt on. I would and do use the allsport lift for an electric cart on the workhorses, you have to do a little cutting and stuff but it'll be as strong as a truck. maybe Essness can post some pics of the rear part of the allsports lift for a workhorse he just did. allsport has some great products nothing against them, the workhorses are different than normal carts and having it, a bolt on product has lead them to use stilts between the frame and springs instead of moving the axle under the springs. for a vehicle that's made to haul heavy loads it's not exactly something I would have done.
Jakes drop axle lift kit moves the rear axle under the springs, it's better that way in my opinion.

Ruredy, I did'nt use the rear lift, I used shackles and new shocks It's not out of the question that I will flip the axel in the future.
